SmartBuild Introduces Design Capability For All-Metal Barndominiums

Boulder, CO - SmartBuild Systems announces an expansion to its lineup of web-based design systems for metal buildings and related structures by adding SmartBuild for the Design Of All-Metal Barndominiums.

In recent years, metal building contractors and their suppliers have been asked with increasing frequency to do design work and bid on barndominium projects for customers. These projects typically involve an efficiently designed exterior shell but require involved interior living spaces – with two levels of interior construction.

While doing a manual takeoff for involved shell projects can take a long time, doing a takeoff for a complicated barndominium can easily consume an entire day. Complicating matters is the fact that a full set of architectural drawings is usually required on these projects. Contractors and suppliers either spend many hours drafting these documents or outsource drafting at considerable expense.

Now a solution is available via SmartBuild for the Design Of All-Metal Barndominiums.

SmartBuild is a web-based software system that can generate the following information:

• 3D model that can be shared directly with customers in a viewer (live design sessions with clients are commonplace)

• Full set of drawings for construction purposes

• Buildable material list for all materials: framing, metal panels and trim, windows, doors, insulation, drywall, trim – all construction materials

• Primary framing includes red iron, galvanized tube members, even light-gauge steel and track. Interiors include wood as well as light-gauge steel.

• Labor estimates

• Fully priced sales proposal

Here are the types of buildings SmartBuild can design:

• Any number of attached buildings

• Parallel and perpendicular buildings

• Any number of lean-to’s, sheds, porches, wrap-around porches, awnings

• Interior offices, two levels of interior living spaces for residential

SmartBuild can design even the most complicated structure and deliver complete information in 20 minutes.
